1. WhatsApp has a backdoor that can be used to decrypt your "end-to-end encrypted" texts.
2. People discover said backdoor (I guess through poking around or reverse engineering, since it's proprietary and code inspection isn't possible) and warn WhatsApp about it.
3. WhatsApp acknowledges existence of backdoor, says it's intentional ("it's not a bug, that's our design!") and they won't bother fixing it.
4. Millions of people continue using communications that can be actively intercepted, because they were told that some "encryption" thing they know nothing about would protect them.

Why am I not surprised here?

Don't use #WhatsApp. Just don't.
